- Lady Gaga is going hire this girl to make a whole outfit. (Pictured)
- IVF costs $12,000 in the states and $300 in Africa. How is that possible?
- Awesome Lost art. Season six starts soon. Oh and this too. ohboyohboyohboy.
- Thoughts on future battling spacecraft. Cowen’s framing makes it even more interesting.
- Male pseudohermaphrodism in Gaza and Palestine.
- First 3-D organ printer. I’d like one mayonnaise jar filled with eyes, please.
- As if prom wasn’t hard enough for gamers. The romantic aspect of this will be lost among the battle for first place. Also: is having a fat dance partner beneficial?

- The economics of egg donation and surrogate pregnancy. It’s a baby assembly line. Everybody wins!
- What is the speed of thought? In my case, it depends on how much Guinness is involved.
- AAHHHH Proj Run 7 is less than a month away. Highlights already: “Fashism,” crotch applique, and a Portland girl inspired by “earth science and space.” COME ON LIFETIME, REDEEM THYSELF.
- Men think their dance moves improve with age. I think my dance moves improve with BAC. Also I dance well in a mob, when I’m mostly jumping around and head banging. I’ll probably get better as I get olderOHNOI’MASTATISTIC.
- Perceptions of bodily self can be genetically modified. Your move, Habermas.

- Dalek’s “And There Was A War In Heaven”
- Avatar is really, really, really pretty. Now I have to go see it.
- A black box for skiers and snowboarders. I know a few people who need one of these.
